RIP Jane Goodall. Rest now & we will continue on. Your presence will be felt for a long long time. Thank you for being you & spending your precious time encouraging the world towards kindness.

Dr. Jane made an indelible mark on our understanding of chimpanzees and other species, and also of humankind and the environments we all share.

She inspired curiosity, hope, and compassion in countless people, and paved the way for many others.

I’ve been quiet.

I’m tiptoeing on crunchy grasses in a withering garden. I’ve been watching the brook dry up completely & dozens of brook trout eek out an stagnating existence in the mere puddle that remains. I’m holding my breath daring not to sneeze.

The world’s so loud.

🚫🔥 Don't even think about lighting a fire in #NovaScotia right now. Sounds like the coming rain won't be nearly enough either.
Screenshot of a Facebook post which includes a diagram of a drought map of the province where much of it is in a high level drought. "🔥 FIRE BAN UPDATE & DROUGHT: CRISPY, CRUNCHY, AND CONCERNING Let's talk fire bans. If you live anywhere from central Nova Scotia westward to Yarmouth, things are tinder dry. Fire bans are still in place and, let's be honest, they aren't going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, more areas will likely be added over the next few days. Be sure to check the burn ban map daily at 2 PM - because apparently fire is a bit of a diva and only updates after lunch. Now... on to the big dry elephant in the room: drought. We're talking extreme drought conditions for Hants, Kings, Annapolis, and Digby counties. Some of these areas have seen barely a drop all month. Personally, living in Hants, I've only seen 32mm of rain in July - that's less water than a sad juice box. And no, there's no big system on the horizon to save us. Maybe a rogue thunderstorm will bless us, but don't bank on it. If you're having flashbacks to last year, you're not alone. July 2023 and 2024 brought flooding rains to the very same areas. Now, we're dealing with dust, cracks in the soil, and confused ducks wondering where their ponds went. It's like Mother Nature gave us a flood one year and thought we needed a dry run the next. In my humble, completely unqualified meteorological opinion, this lack of tropical storm activity could be a major factor. The past couple of summers, we saw lots of tropical leftovers moving up our way. This year? Not even a whisper. It's too quiet... almost like the ocean is holding its breath. Shared from Plympton and Gilberts Cove Fire Dept."

Out in the garden today 🪴🌱💦, getting some fencing up in one of the raised beds & putting down homemade compost.

Heat warning, the second time this year, until tomorrow for my local area. Whew! I’m sure you’re aware?! 😓 🥵 Please take caution & drink water. 💗

Bullshit. Merde! 💩 This is not at all aligned with what world experts are saying. Follow doctors & scientists that are not kowtowing to the government or public opinion against the economic or personal inconvenience of viruses 🦠!

I believe the reason for this is most Nova Scotian’s are being careful, staying home when sick.
